When taking a picture, the lcd moniter is blank and
the zoom does not work.
Pictures can be taken and they turn out fine.
I have a Power Shot A300

Camera FX35 was working fine. In middle of taking pix in Oxford, screen suddenly refused to come back on, although optical viewfinder works and on screen viewing of taken shots works OK.
Is there a power-saving feature I accidently turned on? Only have the simplified manual with me and am new to the camera. Tried my spare battery but same results. I can continue to take shots via the viewfinder and shots seem to work, but I really want the screen back -

I have a Canon Power Shot SX120 IS camera. I turned it on and the lens open a portion of the way and I got an error message that say, "Lens Error Restart Camera". I put fresh batteries in it this morning and have only taken about 10 pic's. I turned the camera off and removed the batteries then replaced with new ones but I still get same message. Please advise if you can.

I changed the batteries in my Power Shot A720 IS recently when the low battery warning flashed, and had taken only two photos when the warning flashed again. I moved the mode switch to playback and the screen went dark "Change batteries now" appeared. I turned off the camera, set the mode switch to shooting, turned the camera back on and was able to take two more photos before the low battery warning returned and prevented any more picture taking. I purchased and installed new batteries and f

I have a problem with a Cannon Power Shot A610 as follows: The monitor is dark when the camera is turned on and the camera will not take photos. The playback works OK for reviewing photos previously taken before this problem developed.
A Best Buy troubleshooter inspected it aand said the sensor in the cameera was bad and that I should buy a new camera because of the repair cost. I need a second opinion before making this decision.
Thanks. e-mail address: [email protected]

I called Cannon Tech Support. They offered to repair mine or uugrade me to more expensive one ( rebuilt ) for less than their estimated repair price. I haven't made a decision yet. ...

Black screen The screen is black when I turn the camera on, both on the flip out screen and if I use the view port...and yes, the lense cap is on.
I have a Canon Power shot S21S and my view finder is black, but I can see the pictures I have already taken just fine when I switch the camera over to playback.

Sounds like you have a bad CCD. You can try contacting Canon to check out your options on how to get this repaired. Unfortunately the S2IS is not on their CCD recall list of cameras. ...

Lcd blurred I have a canon power shot a80 and when i turn it on and try to take a picture, on the LCD display i see a mixture of colour which is not even letting me see the image of the picture i would like to take. If i look through the lens and take the image, i am still able to view the picture I had taken if i set the camera on the view pictures. The mixture of colours on the LCD only shows when the camera is set on take the picture... and it doesn't even do it always. Thanks.

camera model is :SONY DSC-W180 cyber shot
please help me out soon.

The power turns on but the shutter door will not open or extend, it prompts to turn off the power and turn power back on. I am able to see the photos thru the home button already taken that are stored on the card and do the other functions, but am unable to shoot new pictures because the shutter door remains closed.
You can hear it trying to open but it will not.

Usually when you see this either the shutter cover motor has a problem or the cover is jammed. You can try gently helping the cover open but don't force it. You haven't mentioned the camera model so I can only give you some generic advice ...

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H2 turns on sporadically.
Once on it works fine.
Shut it off and try to turn back on and it doesn't.
Repeated pushing of the power button maybe 30-40 times and it turns back on again. Once you get it on it Works fine. Turn off and when you want to turn it on again must push power button over and over to get it on again. This happens with brand new batteries and with rechargeable batteries that have been fully charged. Any assistance would be appreciated.

The Sony Cyber-shot acts as if the battery is dead. Purchased new battery this afternoon.
The camera worked fine for about a hour. I was turning the power on and then off frequently taking pictures at Bible School. The camera would turn on and then after turning it off would not power back on.

This is a known issue with Cybershot that even when its power OFF it still drains battery life, and Sony is awarer of this problem so better take it to a service center near you and have it check since you already use a new set of battery for this un ...

I have a 6 mo old sony cyber-shot dsc-s950 with the lens stuck open. When I turn on the power it tells me to turn the power on and off again. Though doing this has no result. It it possible to fix this?

I've had a pentax K110 for 4 years now. everything has worked great until recently.
when I put freshly charged batteries in (no matter what brand) the camera will work for about 20 shots and than 1-the sutter clicks once as if trying to take the picture but does not want to re-open. it will only re-open if i turn the power off. also if i try to use the flash it will show that i have no battery power. but when i turn it on and off again the battery will show full. I need your help.

I have a HP camera CW450t camera and cannot turn it on with the power button on top. I know the batteries are good because I can turn on the camera with the review button and review the pictures that I have taken. When the power button is pressed the green light on the back of the camera flashes but the lens does not come out and the led screen does not come on. when you take your finger off of the on/off button the green light goes off as well.

Had the EXACT same problem with the CW450 model. I called support because I was mad and wanted it replaced. The support tech helped me through the issue. The answer is- NiMH. Alkaline batteries are unstable and not powerful enough for use with this c ...
